Nothing here either. Dry all day but only sunny for a while during the early part of the afternoon and again for a while this evening. Cloudy this morning and then turned misty later in the afternoon and it was quite cool with it. Reached 15.7°C

I see Ian Ferguson talking about flash flooding in Somerset on twitter I am not surprised as it came down fast for those unlucky to get it

Morning All, still got wet feet?

A mild night with the low of 8.1°C at: 04:39, currently 14.7°C , RH82% and alight SW breeze. The showers this morning tracking more of a ESE rather than the NW of yesterday, so a better chance for something down here today.

From above showing we still, have some early morning sunshine..

Still a game of dodgems though!

Another day where thunderstorms are possible, though more likely toward the E of the country

And still living in the middle of the hits (currently showers)

My son living just over a mile away says it hammered down, and he cant believe its dry here!

And then they merged once past us

That's more like it chaps

[Dorsetbred]

It took all day but finally it warmed nicely to 16.7°C at: 18:09

[Andy Bown]

Just one brief shower today and increasingly sunny since 14.00 resulting in a glorious clear evening, hurrah!!! 

[matt111]

A proper showery day with warm sunny spells and frequent showers, mostly light but had a very heavy one this evening. Reached 15.7°C

[Rich_Clements]

Good Morning All, 

 

A nice sunny start to today 

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, as Rich noted, a fine sunny start to the day, looking good ont' Golden sands, as @*Stormforce~beka* would say "One fluffy wuffy cloud"

From Above

Overnight low of 7.5°C at: 01:41 has risen to 14.8°C, RH79% and light air movement from the north.

More cloud than sun but this is the new spring so seeing sun at all is classed as excellent ...

Cloud is breaking from the north and sun is trying to come through more, it'll be on it's way to you in no time 

[Andy Bown]

A lovely day until now with convection but plenty of sun. Now a shower is developing overhead as part of a line from near Poole north to Trowbridge.

The lower end starts at my house, BUT it's not raining here!

As usual of late we are playing "Piggie in the middle" as the umbrella sits over our house:

Tiny pink pixel pretty much on me! Clear sky all around !

[jtay]

Very dark out to the West. Can't hear any rumbles though.

It's not moving much, so will risk a walk at 5pm on the assumption that the line will collapse in on itself.

Bright, Sunny and warm here.

 

[jtay]

Looking towards Fordingbridge...

I can see the rain falling over the downs. Blue sky above. 

[Andy Bown]

Absolutely fascinating the last few hours. A very narrow almost stationary convergence zone.
 

Extremely well dileneated in the sky.

From my house I can literally see a straight line clearance to the East and West with the rain cloud in between.

It’s torrential again after easing for a while. The other side of town my mother in law hasn’t had a drop! 
 

 

[jtay]

Agreed Andy. Been watching it for 2 hours and it's still in the same place now. Still dry here.

Somewhere must have copped it between me and thee.

[Dorsetbred]

The bottom end of the convergence line looked like this from Poole

It now looks like this as it dwindles.

Hope you don’t mind DB but that first photo is stunning. Phones often over blow the light soo i reduced it for you. Great photo you took.

 

[matt111]

Sunny spells and a few showers although nothing that heavy. Some nice skies around at times though. Reached 16.9°C

A bit further away but this was the view of it from here.
